AuthorTopic: 0xC0000005 error (Read 534 times)

Hello hive mind! Some Blackwell Epiphany players have come across one of those pesky exception errors and I have no idea what the problem is. The game has been out for three years and now two players have come across this error at once. Here is the error:

Not another one! (We need to do something with the topic titles, because although error message is similar, they are often related to different reasons)

This is related to game drawing somehow, "program pointer +5" is marking the end of the part where character, object etc current images are prepared, and beginning of actually putting this all on screen.Things that may be affecting it along the way:- plugin calls in render stage (if you have any plugins).- drawing mouse cursor.- drawing console.- drawing black borders (in AGS 3.2.1 it did that there)- updating screen shaking and ambient tint.- finally telling graphics driver to put all this on screen.

Since the cJoey animation is blocking, engine redraws the screen while this function runs.

IDK how else to help without gathering more info.Do you know if that happens to these players every time? Maybe they have a savegame near that location?

Yeah, after doing a search for the problem I wasn't sure how to title this thread.

I've asked them! Maybe it was a one-off thing. Hopefully it was.

edit: I asked the players to reload an old save. The closest save did not work (the crash repeated), but they reloaded one save older and the crash did not happen. So... yay? I suppose if you can't treat the disease, you treat the symptoms! Here's the thread if you want to chime in.

Erm, looks like we understand this differently.The reason I asked for save is to CRASH the game, because if we are able to reproduce the error under debugger, then there is a chance to fix the error, if it's still present in latest engine version. Is it possible to get that save that causes crash?

Just in case, I will citate myself from PM. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this bug so far using the saved games. But I have a non-steam version of the game, while your players seem to have steam one? Are there any differences between them? Were you able to reproduce this crash yourself?

Also, would it be okay to post these saved games here in case someone else would like to try? TBH that's not good that I am the only one having access to them.
